WWE Smackdown Results - June 25, 2019

We begins this week's episode of Smackdown with a look at Last night's RAW, where Roman Reigns was in a handicap match but then he found help from an unlikely source, the Undertaker.
- We go backstage to Shane McMahon. Shane talks about the Handicap Match with Roman Reigns on RAW and said Reigns got so desperate he called on The Dead Man. Shane goes on about The Undertaker and says they will make Reigns a dead man at WWE Extreme Rules as well. Shane warns the WWE roster to not get on his bad side tonight because he's pissed.

- We're live from the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon as Tom Phillips welcomes us. He's joined by Byron Saxton and Corey Graves.

- We go right to the ring and out comes The New Day - WWE Champion Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods. They hit the ring with pancakes and the trombone. We see stills of how Kofi retained over Dolph Ziggler in the Steel Cage match at Stomping Grounds on Sunday.

Kofi says hello to the people of Portland. He says since he won the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania, he has faced some of the greatest moments of his career and of his life. On the flip side, he has also experienced some of the most painful, agonizing and brutalizing moments. Defending the title in a steel cage on Sunday was a combination of those. Kofi says he had to take an actual leap of faith over Dolph Ziggler to be victorious. Before he had a chance to celebrate and take a victory lap, this happened on Raw.

We see Samoa Joe attacking Kofi on Raw.

Kofi says that was brutal, devastating, agonizing, and incredibly painful. Samoa Joe is not a complicated man. He is like a force of nature. When he has the Coquina Clutch around you, it is like a great white shark. Samoa Joe thinks that at Extreme Rules, he is a shark that has found his prey, but he will be damned if he will let Joe eat him alive.

Dolph Ziggler makes his way to the stage. Dolph says he will not let this happen again. Dolph says he did the heavy lifting and the hard work and someone is going to take his spot? It is not going down that way. You know better than this.

Kofi asks how many times does he have to beat him.

Dolph says this is not a joke. This is his life and career. You know that Xavier Woods saved you at Super Showdown. At Stomping Grounds, we went face to face inside a steel cage for the WWE Title and what happened? You took the coward's way out and leapt through the door to save your title. Everyone knows he should be WWE Champion right now.

Dolph says if he wins his match against Kofi tonight, he will be added to the WWE title match at Extreme Rules. Then and only then will he truly get what he deserves, the WWE Championship. Dolph says since he was talking with management that you cannot take the coward's way out. It is a two out of three falls match. Dolph wishes Kofi luck.
